    Get rid of Talk About It

    Everybody’s forgetting about the smoothest cut on the album “It’s All on Me” smh

    This is a really, really great album but I haven’t listened to it for about a year so I’ll have to listen again before I make my pick

    great to see the love for this album.
    Listemed a few days & was astounded how good in sounds. If anything it sounds better that it did in 2015.
    Dre's flow is great on it as well. Anderson Paak is incredible on it as well.

    First song out for me One Shot One k---

    U sure about that,
    Relapse's prodcution was perfecr. So clear & crisp.
    Not Dre's fault Eminem rapped in a weird accent.

    Rick Rubin & Royce take that accolade.

    Medicine Man.

    i know I’ve told this story before on here, but Eminem was the reason I fell in love with rap music and I was a huge stan up until MMLP2, he was literally my favorite artist my whole life until that point and the reason I even post on this site (well SL at the time that lead to here). But I finally got the chance to see him live two summers ago at Firefly Festival. Literally always wanted to see him my whole life, and when I finally get the chance to and the curtain drops, he starts playing Medicine Man. I hadn’t listened to that song in probably two years at that point, and I had no f---ing idea what song it was. I was so confused. Literally just in awe that I was seeing him, close as f--- at that, but I couldn’t figure out what song it was lmao. The rest of the show was f---ing incredible though. Except the revival songs, I wish he would’ve cut those for some more classics.

    perhaps Dre does tend to have more Slim Shady type songs with Eminem. Lock It Up was very good though
    Eminem should work with the bass bros again.

    shame they fell out over money. Paul probably being too greedy.

    Yeah I went to the same show. Amazing aside from the revival s---

    But honestly him starting w that song instead of a revival song or wont back down was a good thing imo lol. At that point MM verse was classic compared to other stuff lol

    But yeah aside from em being good its overal one of the weaker songs imo

    very underrated album.
    Intro + talk about it is one of the biggest moments of the last decade.

    my vote is for the love of money.
